Publishing research in an English-language journal requires more than translation: it requires a translator who understands your discipline's conventions, citation style, and editorial expectations.
Academic journals, particularly those indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, or PubMed, have strict formatting requirements, citation conventions, and editorial standards. A translation that reads well but deviates from those conventions can result in rejection during editorial review. BeTranslated assigns translators with postgraduate qualifications or professional research backgrounds in the relevant discipline for every academic project.
We translate original research articles, review papers, conference proceedings, grant applications, literature reviews, and academic theses. Source languages include Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and other major research languages. We work to your target journal's author guidelines and citation style.
Scientists, clinicians, and social scientists who have written original research in their native language and need it translated for submission to an English-language international journal.
Researchers who need to present or cite a paper published in a foreign language, or who are compiling a literature review that includes non-English sources.
Research institutes and university departments that produce scholarship in multiple languages and need to make their work accessible to the international academic community.
Researchers applying to international funding bodies such as the European Research Council or NIH who need grant applications and supporting documentation translated into English.
Upload your paper along with your target journal's author guidelines. Include the citation style you are using (APA, Vancouver, Chicago, etc.) and any specific instructions from the editor.
Your manuscript is assigned to a translator with expertise in your research discipline, whether that is biomedical science, economics, literature, engineering, or another field.
The translator prepares a complete English translation following the journal's style requirements. A second reviewer checks terminology consistency, citation formatting, and overall academic register.
You receive the translated manuscript ready for submission. One round of revisions following author review is included as standard.

“Reliable, trustworthy and customer-centric This is the summation of Michael, Suzy and their team of translators. I have worked with them for over a year, and they have been my translation service for advertising in many European languages - from Swedish to German to Russian, and not always from English! Consider them a rare find.”

We cover the full range of academic disciplines, including biomedical and clinical sciences, life sciences, chemistry, physics, engineering, economics, law, social sciences, history, literature, and linguistics. For highly specialized fields, we confirm translator availability before accepting the project. If you have a very narrow specialism, tell us when requesting a quote.
Yes. Please include the journal's author guidelines and your preferred citation style when submitting your manuscript. If the journal requires a specific reference format such as Vancouver, APA, or a house style, our translator will apply it throughout. We can also reformat references from one citation style to another if needed.
Our academic translators are native English speakers working into their first language, so the translated text is ready for submission without additional editing. If you would like an additional editorial pass specifically to polish academic writing style and register, we offer a post-translation academic proofreading service at an additional cost.
